Hard To Play It Simple © 2017 Nick Moxsom & Richard Dance

V1
So she said..
Sometimes wonder why I ever got involved with you
It's not so easy tryin' to make this work
We mis-communicate, it turns to a fight
And the whole damn show come crashin' down

Chorus 1
It's hard to play it simple
When we're too hot to play it cool
It's hard to play it simple
Cos simple needs a fool
I'm no fool

V2
So then I said
You sometimes don't see me when I'm standin' here in front of you
The way you just can't talk to me is such a crime
If all we give or think about is rushin' fussin' fighting
Then maybe we should make more time

Chorus 2
But it's hard to play it simple...sometimes
We're too hot to play it cool
It's hard to play it simple
Cos simple means the truth
This is the truth

Bridge
If we could bank our private time and turn it into dollars
We might be worth a dime and change
It gets so goddamn complicated we forget the easy things
Sometimes you and I are strangers

Chorus 3
It's hard to play it simple
When we're too hot to play it cool
It's hard to play it simple
Baby it's hard to play it simple now
Don't you know we're too hot, we're too hot
We're too hot to play it cool
It's hard to play it simple
But I'm in still in love with you
Still in love with you
